“Marrying Millie was literally the best day of my life because we just all had a great time. No pressure, no stress. Just literally a celebration.

Millie Hill and Sarah Livori met through the female Melbourne motorbike scene. “Millie runs an all-female moto group – The Litas Melbourne. I had seen her group on socials and I wanted to know who this woman was!”

“I (Millie) had heard of Sarah through a mutual friend. Something intrigued me about her. Our worlds finally collided during Covid lockdowns. To this day I am grateful for this part of the pandemic and how it changed my life.”

“Millie describes the proposal in one word - fumbled! I (Sarah) proposed and Millie knew it was coming as we had been to the jeweller together to design the engagement ring. Nonetheless I was still so nervous to ask her. I’m not really sure why. I knew she would say ‘yes’ but I just wanted to make sure she felt special on the day, as if from the moment she woke up everything was tailored to her. I had planned a weekend of good food, relaxation and celebration for us. We woke up early on Saturday morning. Millie was drinking her coffee outside and long story short, when I joined her outside and it was the perfect time to ask her all that came out of my mouth was, ‘Do you wanna get married?’. From there the weekend continued including when I accidentally stabbed her in the neck with a chair and our planned dinner was cancelled due to a Covid outbreak at the restaurant. All was not lost as the following day we spent the entire day at Crown Spa in Melbourne, which was nice and without issue or injury.”

“We had an emotion-filled, intimate and most importantly FUN ceremony on a secluded beach. The weather was perfect and our vendors pulled our dream elopement together perfectly. The reception was held at the private poolside dining area at the Sea Temple in Palm Cove. The five of us enjoyed the most delicious food and cocktails and choreographed a dance to Robert Palmer’s ‘Addicted to Love’.”

“My (Sarah) wedding day highlight was seeing Millie walk down the aisle in her dress that she had been hiding for months. Also, feeling her vows and saying mine out loud and our little Robert Palmer number! Millie’s highlight was feeling the weight of my vows and knowing every word I promised was true. Also, the privacy of such a small elopement was just perfection.”

“Our advice for other couples planning their wedding is to do it exactly the way you both want. It’s your day! Have fun and showcase that love. Prepare for things not going to plan and have a backup. Also, don’t pass up the decision to hire a videographer – get the goddamn video, it’s worth it! Eloping to a different State felt overwhelming at first to be able to bring all our vendors together. Finding our planner Kylie, at Sea Temple was a life saver. She was our go to woman on the ground – find yourself a Kylie!”

“We spent our honeymoon in tropical Cairns.”

“We wanted the wedding to be timeless and very relaxed. We wanted to be exactly ourselves and enjoy the day as opposed to being stressed out about it, worrying about other people’s expectations. We eloped with three of our closest friends from Melbourne to Palm Cove and had the best time.
